Ron wasn’t sure whether he should go with the sinking feeling in the pit of his stomach or the elation threatening to overpower him… Joy would probably seem too out of place, and he shoved it into a corner of his mind with a tremendous effort.
“I don’t know about that. She seemed somewhat… giddy…
((I’m back!))
Hermione opened her eyes, and sat up at the mention of her name, and looked around, and saw Ron and Fred. She began to stand up, picking the book off of the ground as she did so.
“What’s going on?”
Fred floundered in response to Ron’s question. “Well, he wouldn’t, because he, you know…not that she isn’t—!” and nearly jumped out of his skin when he heard Hermione’s voice behind him. He froze, not turning around, dying of guilt and wanting to jump off a cliff rather than face a girl that he’d inadvertantly made “giddy” during a period lacking good judgement.
“Because he…?” Ron asked, trying to control the edge in his voice. Come on, Fred! I have to know! It was taking all of his strength not to glare at Hermione right now. Did she have to wake up JUST then?
He sighed. Fred probably wouldn’t have told him anyway, the git.
“Did I just interrupt some very important conversation? If I did, I can leave.”
The sarcasm drips from her voice like thick molasses ((hehehe… spell check tried to make me write “mole asses”)). She crosses her arms, and raises an eyebrow.
Hermione was not helping with Fred’s battle against his more cowardly nature (and common sense) which told him to dissapear as fast as possible. Against all self preservation instincts, he forced himself to turn towards Hermione. He ducked his head a little, like a dog expecting to be hit. “I’m sorry. It was me, and I —” shame and the thought that he might have to break any illusions he may have accidentily caused made the rest of his sentance die and his throat, and he just stood there miserably.
OOC: G’night everyone! See you later!
ooc: night fred <3
Ron didn’t want to be here anymore. This was a scene he did NOT want to witness. Plus, he already had enough to think about with George. But, as Fred had only said ‘It was me’, Hermione still might not know that it wasn’t George. He definitely wanted to clear that bit up. “It’s Fred,” he mouthed to her while Fred’s back was turned. Then he got up and went upstairs to the boys’ dorms.
Hermione, stunned, cocked her head, wondering what was going on. “…Fred? Okay…?” Oblivious to the drama, she shrugged,...
